Technical specifications

PCIe® specifications

The primary I/O bus for the main board is PCIe Gen3. The following table lists the characteristics of the PCI-E bus segments. Details about each bus segment follow the table.

NOTE: The signaling bit rate of PCI Express is 8.0Gbit/s one direction per lane for Gen 3

Number Type Bus width1 Voltage Connector Location Length

PCIe x16 1 PCIe Gen3 x16 3.3V x16 Riser Low-profile

IO module 1 PCIe Gen3 x16 3.3V x16 Onboard Proprietary module compatible

NOTE:

1. Indicates the number of physical electrical lanes running to a PCIe® connector.

2. CPU 2 indicates that a second CPU is required to access that specific PCIe® slot.

3. Default bus assignment (in decimal). Inserting cards with PCI™ bridges may alter the actual bus assignment number.

4. Slots are enumerated differently based on the operating system. Microsoft® operating systems enumerate Device ID by bus starting from the lowest bus to the highest.

Memory specifications and population

Item Description

Supported memory types • Registered DDR3 800 / 1066 / 1333 / 1600 MHz

• Unbuffered DDR3 800 / 1066 / 1333 MHz

NOTE: Acer does not qualify mixed memory configurations of memory type, capacity or make.

Population Acer’s validated memory populations are listed below.

NOTE: Support for 8 / 16 GB DIMMs may vary by regional availability.

Dual processor configuration

Note: Memory can technically be shared between CPUs via the dual QPI links, however for a most balanced configuration, Acer recommends an equal population between both CPUs.

* 3 DIMM per channel is only supported by single rank and dual rank RDIMM. For UDIMM and quad rank RDIMM, maximum two DIMMs per channel is supported.

NOTE: Populate the memory of CPU2 to same as CPU1.

NOTE: support depends on 16GB DIMM availability

Mirroring mode:

• For mirroring mode, the memory image in channel A is maintained the same as channel C and channel B is maintained the same as channel D. Therefore, the effective size of memory is reduced by at least one-half.

• The DIMM configuration in mirrored channels must be identical. Channel A & channel C with identical DIMMs and also channel B & channel D with identical DIMMs. The DIMM type, size, manufacturer should be the same.

• Same rule is applied to the CPU2

• 3 DIMM per channel is only supported by single rank and dual rank RDIMM.

• For UDIMM and quad rank RDIMM, maximum two DIMMs per channel.

Lockstep mode:

• Channel A and channel B are paired and channel C and channel D are paired in lockstep mode.

• Lockstep mode is the only mode to support x8 SDDC.

• Lockstep channels must be populated identically. Channel A & channel B with identical DIMMs and also channel C &channel D with identical DIMMs. The DIMM type, size, manufacturer should be the same.

• Same rule is applied to the CPU2.



10


Rank Sparing mode:

• An unused spare rank is reserved on each channel. The spare rank is used to copy the contents of a failing rank on the channel to keep a system working when a rank starts to fail. The reserved rank is not able to be used before the other rank fail.



• For 1 DIMM per channel configuration, only quad rank RDIMM is supported for rank sparing.

Memory Identification

Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have different format. For example:

4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx

1. Density

� 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB

2. Rank

� 1R = Single Rank

� 2R = Dual Rank

� 4R = Quad Rank

� Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can be supported

3. Bit Organization

� This platform supports x4 and x8

� Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system

4. Speed

� PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800

� PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066

� PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333

� PC3 – 12800 => DDR3-1600
